Looking at the draw and Tottenham seem to play quite late in the round for most of the first half of the season so ill probably use one of their keepers as my loophole.

Given I have a Liverpool keeper ive decided i wont go for TAA early which frees up funds to improve my midfield & grab Maddison

Joined the league and the group. Keen for Draft as well... can't recall who was admin last year, but probably easiest for them to re-launch the league? But happy to do so otherwise

Lots of potential value in the Villa attack. Bailey, Rogers, Tielemans all offering value if they get the role.
Yeh Buendia will get a reasonable shot if he has healed the ACL. I'm hoping Maatsen gets pushed higher up the field to capitalize on being a defender. Played a bit as a winger aswell as being a left back.

Greetings everyone. Hope all is well.

I've sent invites to quite a few who were in last season's Super League, and have again qualified to be in the most competitive DT league.
Hope you can all return for another season, and help us take out top spot again.

For anyone who didn't qualify, I've created a group where you can keep tabs on how the best are faring.

Cheers.

Haaland is a must have, especially for his early run of fixtures.

If he goes nuts early on and you've not got him, considering how many players will have him, you could be way behind hardly out of the starting gate.
100%. He's been the best in the first six weeks in the last two season. Can be traded later, but too risky not to have him at the start.
I'd rather go without Salah than Haaland at the beginning.

Saliba last season played every minute. He scored 279 pts in DT.
Appearance = 38 x 2 = 76
CS = 18 x 6 = 108
Goals = 2 x 12 = 24
Assists = 1 x 8 = 8.
So 279 - 216 means he only scored 63 misc pts from 38 full starts, or less than 2 misc pts per game on average.
Given ARS have Villa (lost both), Spurs (conceded 2 in both) and City (actually kept 2 CS), all away in the first 5 games, I'm staying away.

Havertz on the other hand, averaged 16 in the last 14 games, playing as a striker.
He was poor as an attacking MID, hence his low average.
If he plays striker again, he's a must IMO, given he's listed as a MID.

Foden also finished the season on a blinder, with 2 hatties and 3 braces. A must IMO.

My first draft. Thinking it's quite close to the final product, given the majority of the players I had scouted before DT opened, have come in at excellent prices. Would have preferred Nkunku as a FOR, to free a MID spot, as I don't fancy Armstrong.

If Ederson is sold, Ortega will likely come in.

Maatsen and Armstrong the only two that I'm looking to replace. Very happy with the rest.
But at their price, there's low risk having them.

Yoro could be an option to replace Maatsen, who faces competition for his spot. MAN play first. If he's starting, he's in.

Got my eye on James Justin too. Very attacking in the past in EPL.

If Trippier is sold, Livramento will be a bargain.

Mateta another that finished on fire last season. But with Olise moving to Bayern, he might not repeat that.
He's looking for a move too so his departure would scratch that itch.
